I hope everyone is getting away from there.
Yes - we can not simply stand by and allow these volcanoes to blow off any old time they want to do so. In order to return the activity to pre-1990 levels we should haul some pumps over to that volcano, and a heck of a lot of garden hoses, and spray ocean water into the volcano to cool it off and keep it cool. Walmart has a great hose sale right now. If that doesn’t do enough, we’ll have to start digging holes to introduce the water deeper under the volcano to cool it there, and add enough pumps and hoses to keep it cool. This may be somewhat costly but the United Nations and World Bank will handle tapping all the volcano countries and subsidize those non volcano countries who have no responsibility for volcano spew.

Obviously Vulcan is not pleased and we must offer a worthy enough sacrifice to satiate his demands for somebody who values the Earth more than any of us. We must find Al Gore immediately and prepare his vestal virgin garments.
“No costs should be spared;”
Actually, there is some truth to that. In Dick Thompson’s year 2000 book “Volcano Cowboys”, he points out how inadequate funding made it difficult to monitor Pinatubo during its startup phase. There was a significant lack of instruments and other funding, and instruments had to be taken off of other dangerous volcanoes as Pinatubo ramped up. I hope that since then there has been a significant increase in the funding available to keep track of our dangerous volcanoes, or monitor them when they get serious.
Exactly. Mt St Helens was a case in point. Rained like a mother, too.
